Hi there! You need to be careful with stuck shed if it's around any imbs or toes as there's a risk of it cutting off circulation. If you're upping the humidity and mistings and it's still not coming off you may want to try VERY gently rubbing the area with a clean damp q tip.

Normally people here wouldn't recommend that you help with stuck shed but the fact it's going brown could be cause for concern. You might want to wait until someone more experienced can tell you better but I would likely go to the vet.

Hope you guys get on ok

Good! that's not too much to worry about then, they don't really do full body sheds when they get older. My girl constantly has little bits of shed somewhere

bump, anymore opinions?

Post a picture. Is the shed turning brown or the actual skin under the shed?

its like the back 2 white bar, (brown) he's basking right now but they always look like that even when he sleeps

I'm not really seeing much shed? It just looks like he has bruises to me? Can you get a better picture?

Is he housed with another chameleon? That upside down V shaped dark mark looks like a bite mark to me.
